Tim and Greg? Would their last name begin with the letter "H," as in Hildebrandt?

The main difference between this film and "Krull," is that "Krull" is a good "bad" movie, while this one is just a bad "bad" movie.

This is turning out to be one of the great B-movie cliches, as this is the second time I've seen it, in three reviews. Everybody line up one by one, so the hero can beat the snot out of you individually, instead of everybody ganging up on the hero at the same time.

That three-bladed knife Lambert carries, actually existed. You'd catch your opponents' swordblade in it, and with a flick of your wrist, snap the swordblade, leaving your opponent at a disadvantage.

I watched this one while in college, I was doing a piece on the original poem and though the film would make a good comparison. So I rented the DVD and coerced my best friend, who had a brand new DVD system, to watch it with me. I don't know what freaked him out worse, what was going on on the giant TV set or that I spent the whole movie taking notes.

Andrew, next time you think of doing a Christophe Lambert movie I suggest "Mean guns". It's bad, but also loads of fun. At least you'll save yourself the aspirins.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I still cannot figure out why they had to go and "punk" the whole thing.

Sure it may of been punked, but maybe Hollywood is trying to make up for this horrible movie:Blade of the King Concept Film (2005)Beowulf & Grendel (2005)Beowulf (2007)Grendel (2007) (TV)Beowulf: Prince of the Geats (2007)

You've read the story of Beowulf, right? This movie is just like the epic poem, except for the techno music, chainsaw swords, and martial arts.

NOT!

Sure, there are some vague similarities, but this is unequivocally NOT the story told in the epic poem. I'm not sure what the writers were thinking (or drinking), but what they achieved was something that is almost-but-not-quite completely unlike Beowulf.
